I shot this nice photo of norwegian fjords, glaciers and mountains on my way from Bergen to Oslo. It is a part of the Hardanger Fjord called Sørfjorden. This fjord leads into the industrial centre of Odda. The white mountains to the right in the picture are parts of the Folgefonni glacier.
This could have been very nice to add to Geobloggers …if I had the GPS coordinates and GoogleMaps would extend their service with proper maps and satellite photos of Europe as well.

Someone over here:
Odda-sider eg ikkje viste om…
…talks about this post. Can I help you?
I got the coordinates from
http://www.maporama.com
I have found it for you and it is:
Lat-Long:
60° 4′ , 6° 32′
60.068 , 6.546
Cool! I have now added it to GeoBloggers as one of the first pictures ever from mainland europe, and most likely THE first picture from Norway…? On the Geobloggers site you will have to zoom out and choose satellite instead of map. Google maps has very poor coverage for Europe…
This link:
GeoBloggers Europe
…shows that the picture from ODDA is the first one ever from Norway on GeoBloggers, and that there are a couple of others from mainland Europe.
If you like Geobloggers you may like the project we just launched, Panoramio.com, btw already people posted pics from Mageroya, the island of North Cape, in Northern Norway.
[…] Panoramio – place your pictures on Google maps I have mentioned GeoBloggers here before. Now meet Panoramio, a similar and very user friendly service. It lets you place your pictures by simply click the map and upload. […]
Very cool!
It deserved a separate post. Keep up the good work and thank you for pointing me to this service.
Det er kjempe fint at du liker Panoramio. Du maa vaere norsk, saa jeg tar sjanse for a skrive litt paa norsk, nur for aa si hei til deg og for aa praktisere spraaket, lenge siden fra siste maal jeg snakket det.
Yes, I am Norwegian. So, I understand your previous comment and can answer back in Norwegian:
Paniramio er en svært bra tjeneste. Jeg håper dere får masse trafikk og positiv omtale!
….and of course I am curious about the fact that you master the language of Norwegian?
We’re only 4 million people talking this strange little language you know…
